Grand Theft Auto 4 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) is still on top in the UK weeks after its release, despite ever declining sales. Last week, sales of the game declined 77%. This week, sales went down even further by 41%, and still the game persists on top of the charts. Wonder if the game should get another Guinness World Record for that.

Mario Kart Wii, which declined to 9th place last week, has jumped to third place thanks to the game being restocked. No new entries managed to find their way into top 10 this week. That will probably change in next week's results, when Haze is released.  Here are the rest of the top games in the UK for the week ending on May 17:

1. Grand Theft Auto 4
2. Wii Fit
3. Mario Kart Wii
4. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
5. Wii Play
6. Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
7. Iron Man: The Official Video Game
8. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
9. Dr Kawashima's Brain Training
10. Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock

Buy: [GTA IV (PS3)]

The game isn't very sick, most things are player choice AND I've been playing GTA since I was 12 and haven't done anything violent. My parents taught me right from wrong, and I can tell the difference between RL and everything else...kinda like how I wouldn't ever say 'RL' in RL

Its amazing that its still selling at the rate it is, but the real shocker for me is Call of Duty 4. 8th STILL! This came out November last year and its still a top ten seller? Are people losing their copy or something? lol
